New technology delivers new levels of performance

The DS3500 combines next-generation controller technology with the latest,
high-performance host interface technologies to deliver new levels of performance
to the DS3000 series.

The DS3500 is designed to be equally adept at delivering throughput to
bandwidth-intensive applications and I/O operations to transactional applications,
such as databases and Microsoft® Exchange. This balanced
performance, combined with the ability to handle concurrent workloads, makes
the DS3500 a great fit for consolidation and virtualization environments.

With the DS3500, you choose the initial system configuration that matches
your performance requirements and budget:

The DS3500 with a single controller provides an entry solution with low
initial investment

The DS3500 with dual controllers offers higher performance

The DS3500 dual controller with the Turbo Performance option offers the
highest level of performance

Furthermore, the ability to later upgrade your DS3500 to dual controllers
and Turbo performance options offers a way to protect your initial investment
in a DS3500 entry solution.

Latest host interface technologies with intermix flexibility

The DS3500 brings the latest host interface technologies, 6 Gb per second
SAS and 8 Gb per second Fibre Channel, to the DS3000 series family. Along
with 1 Gb per second iSCSI support and the capability to intermix host interface
technologies, the DS3500 is designed to address your shared storage requirements
within a single system.

Second-generation, 6 Gb SAS builds upon the solid foundation of 3 Gb SAS
with performance improvements and reliability enhancements. With direct attachment
support and the capability to be shared by multiple host servers, the DS3500
with SAS provides ease-of-use and simplicity at an affordable price.

Fibre Channel, a mature and proven technology now available at 8 Gb, is
the host interface of choice for high performance environments. The DS3500
with Fibre Channel allows you to exploit the benefits offered by a SAN environment.

iSCSI allows you to capitalize your existing IT skills and infrastructure
by delivering block-based storage across the IP network. The DS3500 with
iSCSI provides an alternative to direct attach SAS or the investment in a
storage-only, Fibre Channel infrastructure.

SAS host interface ports are standard on all DS3500 models. You have the
option to add more SAS ports or alternatively, you can add FC ports or iSCSI
ports into the same DS3500 system with your SAS ports. The following configurations
are available:

With support for mixed disk drives within a single system, the DS3500 is
designed to support your complete range of data storage requirements, from
highly-utilized applications to high-capacity, low usage applications.

All disk drives of the same form factor can be intermixed within the appropriate
DS3500 or EXP3500 enclosure. Up to 96 disk drives are supported by a single
DS3500 storage system with attachment of EXP3500 expansion units, doubling
the scalability available, offered by the other DS3000 products. Additional
disk drives and expansion units are designed to be dynamically added with
virtually no downtime, helping you to quickly and seamlessly respond to your
ever-growing capacity demands.

You can even intermix both EXP3512 and EXP3524 expansion units behind either
a DS3512 or DS3524 storage system. This gives you the added flexibility to
mix 3.5-inch and 2.5-inch disk drives within a single system to meet your
specific needs.

Energy saving implementations for cost savings today and tomorrow

The DS3500 was developed with energy savings features designed to help
reduce power consumption and provide a lower overall total cost of ownership:

High-efficiency power supplies designed to meet power efficiency standards
for reduce power consumption

Small form factor (2.5-inch) disk drives which deliver comparable I/O
performance when compared to 3.5-inch disk drives, but require less space
and consume less power

And the DS3500 controller technology creates performance value by getting
the most performance out of the fewest disk drives. This reduces the number
of disk drives needed to meet performance and capacity demands, resulting
in lower acquisition and operational expenditures.

High availability with new data protection and security options

The DS3500 carries on the DS3000 series legacy of high system and data
availability with:

Automated path failover support for the data path between the server and
the disk drives

And, the DS3500 carries on the tradition of DS3000 series data protection
features with:

RAID levels 0, 1, 3, 5, 6, and 10 provide you the flexibility to
choose the level of protection required

Storage partitions that logically divide a single DS3500 into multiple
systems to manage volume-to-host access

FlashCopy and
Volume Copy to create logical or physical copies of data for file restoration
and backup

The DS3500 brings the following new data protection and data security options
into the DS3000 series family:

Remote Mirroring to provide storage system-based data replication
from one DS3500 system to another DS3500 system using either synchronous or
asynchronous data transfers over Fibre Channel communication links.

Full Disk Encryption (FDE) provides local key management and disk
drive-level encryption for comprehensive data security and protection. The
DS3500 locally manages and protects the self-encrypting drives (SED) by utilizing
a single authorization scheme (or lock key) that can be set and applied to
all SED drives within a DS3500. The DS Storage Manager maintains and controls
the key linkage and communications with the SED drives, secures user-selected
logical drive groups, and can even initiate an instant secure erase feature
when servicing, decommissioning, or repurposing drives. The DS3500 FDE engine
performs encryption without a performance penalty, which allows you to achieve
new levels of data security without sacrificing performance. With these encryption
services, FDE key management is transparent to day-to-day storage administration,
making SED drives as easy to manage as traditional drives.

Intuitive storage management with the IBM DS Storage Manager

The IBM DS
Storage Manager provides a powerful, yet easy-to-use and intuitive graphical
user interface (GUI) for DS3500 administrative activities, including configuration,
reconfiguration, expansion, and routine maintenance, as well as performance
tuning and management of advanced functions, such as data replication and
Full Disk Encryption (FDE) keys. The DS Storage Manager extends the robustness
and functionality of storage management previously only available on the DS4000 and
DS5000 products to the DS3500, while maintaining the ease-of-use and intuitive
nature of the DS3000 Storage Manager. It provides a complete physical view
of your DS3500, but with expertise built into the interface and automated
policy decisions, you no longer have to contend with low-level activities.
With DS Storage Manager, dynamic and other high functionality capabilities
are now available for the DS3500 through the GUI functions available only
via the Command Line Interface (CLI).

Rich set of data replication functions for business continuity needs

FlashCopy creates
a capacity-efficient, point-in-time copy of a physical volume for data protection
uses, such as file restoration and backup. A FlashCopy volume is the logical equivalent
of the physical volume, but is created more quickly than a physical copy and
with minimal disruption to applications and production processes. Using copy-on-write
technology, FlashCopy volumes
preserve data in its original form even as data in the physical (source) volume
is changed. FlashCopy volumes
appear and function as standard storage volumes, and restoration of a FlashCopy volume
is quick and easy.

Volume Copy creates a physical copy of a volume. Volume Copy is
used with FlashCopy to
create a physical copy of your data with minimal disruption to applications
and production processes. Upon completion of the Volume Copy process, the
new volume can be mapped to any host and functions as a standard volume.
Volume Copy can also be used to redistribute data within the DS3500 moving
volumes to a different disk drive technology or RAID level.

Both FlashCopy and
Volume Copy are performed by DS3500 storage system, so no host server resources
are used.

Remote Mirroring provides storage system-based data replication
from one DS3500 system to another DS3500 system over Fibre Channel communications
links. Remote Mirroring supports synchronous or asynchronous data transfers,
enabling you to choose the replication method that best meets your protection,
distance, or performance requirements:

Synchronous mirroring is designed to provide continuous mirroring between
primary and remote volumes to help ensure absolute synchronization.

Asynchronous mirroring queues remote writes to reduce the latency, thus
enabling long distance replication while increasing local system performance.
Asynchronous mirroring includes a write consistency option designed to ensure
that writes to the remote system complete in the same order as the local system.

Remote Mirroring also includes features such as dynamic mode switching,
suspend and resume with delta resynchronization, read-only and FlashCopy /
Volume Copy access to secondary volumes, and cross-mirroring.
